Godox 8.8 Feet C-Stand with Grip Arm, Grip Head and Removable Turtle Base

Boom a light out over your subject on a stand that holds its ground

A Godox 8.8ft stainless steel C-stand with a 127.5 cm grip arm, two grip heads and a removable turtle base.

It is the heavy-duty rig for booming lights, softboxes, flags and reflectors overhead and off to the side on photo and video sets.

This is a Godox 8.8ft (270 cm) C-stand, the workhorse support that studios and film crews reach for when a normal light stand cannot get a fixture where it needs to be.

The column is built from three Ø35 mm stainless steel sections that lock with screw collars, so it stands firm under weight and folds down to about 120 cm for transport.

The stand carries up to 10 kg, which comfortably covers most LED panels, strobes, softboxes and modifiers used on local shoots.

It weighs around 10 kg itself, and that heft is the point: it gives you a stable base for booming a load out on the arm without the whole rig tipping.

The kit rents complete with a 127.5 cm grip arm, two grip heads and a detachable turtle base.

The grip arm lets you push a light, flag or reflector out over a subject, and the grip heads clamp the arm and other rods at any angle you set.

The removable turtle base drops low for tight corners, folds flat for the van, and lets several stands nest close together on a busy set.

It uses the standard baby stud fitting that suits most studio lighting and modifier brackets, so it slots straight into a mixed kit.

The light, softbox or modifier you plan to mount is not included, and you rent those separately.
